Originally named "Above the Belt" when the first store was opened at Northgate Mall (Seattle) in 1978, the company grew quickly through the early 1980 and 1990s. Today, it has a decent following as every time I walk into one of these stores, they are packed with young people shopping.
This particular store in the Broward Mall had a very good selection of t-shirts, hats, backpacks, casual shirts and sneakers. The store is pretty full of inventory, so it feels a little cramped, but I was able to find a few things on sale that I liked in here. Most of the sneakers were Nike, but they also had New Balance, Converse, Adidas, Vans and other national brands.
